22 876 there. They are going to look at those individually and say,whatever our concerns are have to be 877 addressed, or they could restrict it and say one is equal you have access. That's all we have to 878 allow you on our public roads is to have access, and that could even be right in right out,to be 879 honest I've seen that before where they say that's still full access. You just need to find a way to 880 turn them around,whether it's,you know, not in this case, I'm not saying anything, but they get 881 creative and say now you need to design a U-turn bulb down the street or something like that. 882 And that's where I'm saying DOT does control that. They would have to say you have access to 883 the site, how that access is. That's what they've seen. They understand and say we want to 884 make sure when we get into that design component that we address the concerns that we all have 885 out there with safety. So,the second one I think is beneficial. 886 887 Statler Gilfillen: Now the second part of your question is,the possibility of eliminating any danger, along that state 888 highway,which I think the report's pretty clear. That's a difficult access area. You've got an 889 adjacent neighbor that you might be able to benefit and work together running your access 890 through the school, because you're not with the number of units. There might be a better solution 891 and far safer for everybody. Has that been even discussed? Because there may be trade-offs that 892 you can help each other. 893 894 Josh Reinke: And are you saying like access the school to ingress and egress our vehicles where they come in 895 the same driveway as the school? 896 897 Statler Gilfillen: Very possibly. Has this discussion even taken place yet? 898 899 Josh Reinke: That I'm not sure with the project team. And I know, at some point it was brought up like the 900 traffic, and we actually tried to reach out to DOT and track down a traffic study that was done for 901 the school because that's obviously a significant generator and we could not find anything that the 902 DOT had with congestion management at the district,so I'm not sure. Once again, even looking at 903 what do their driveways look like in terms of safety, but I'm not sure if the project team had any 904 discussions or if there would be cross-access. 905 906 Beth Trahos: And I think there are environmental features as well that might inhibit that access. 907 908 Statler Gilfillen: Okay, but my point on the question was, had the conversation even been considered, and 909 apparently it has not, if I'm hearing your answer. 910 911 Beth Trahos: I don't believe it has, but I think there were some site constraints that may have made that less 912 than achievable. However,we did have our neighborhood meeting at the Eno River Academy and 913 representatives of the academy attended the meeting, and so there certainly have been 914 discussions. We understand that the school has benefited greatly from this landowner generously 915 allowing them to use this property. Now this landowner is looking to sell it, and that's going to 916 impact their ability to continue to use it.As it becomes a neighborhood or, even if it were to 917 become a farm or something else, the ability of these students to continue to have access to a 918 resource, that they have benefited from, maybe impacted. But we have certainly discussed with 919 them the opportunity once the homes are sold, and the homeowner's association is formed to 920 reach an agreement with that association about the potential for in the future continuing this 921 relationship. 922 923 Lamar Proctor: Jonah? 924 925 Jonah Garson: You can go onto the next one. 926 927 Lamar Proctor: Venkat? 928 929 Venkat Yendapalli: I have a similar question I had at last month's meeting. We had similar subdivision. Very high 930 density. Smaller lots,with the septic, and one well.
